Lyla's Baptism...better late than never!

Hello all! Lyla was baptized. When you ask??? April 22, 2012. Well, we just got the pictures and I hope you'll find them worth the wait. It was a beautiful day in Big D that day. Her baptism was held at the 8:30 service in Cox Chapel at Highland Park UMC officiated by Rev. Jeff Hall. Is the word officiated even right for a baptism? Oh well, either way, you get the idea. We were fortunate to have a decent about of family there. My parents were there (duh...they live here and that is the service they go to every week). My sister, Melissa (will be known as Aunt Lissa) and my niece Isabel made it all the way from Louise, TX. We missed Mark and Walter, but were glad the girls could make it. My mom's mom and my dad's parents live here in Dallas as well, so they were there. Danny's parents made the trip from San Angelo as they wouldn't have missed it. Danny's sister Beth made the trip from ABQ and even brought a tag-a-long (no, not the girl scout cookies), one of my nieces Ashlynn. So, since you are likely more interested in pictures than words...here goes!
